Training Focus

Partly out of necessity, partly as a result of experience, I'm not competing in any "B" races this year. I don't enjoy racing in less than peak fitness. The "B" races feel like lost training opportunities.

Instead of racing, I'm focusing my energy solely on getting faster through training. On Tuesday I leave for training camp in Lake Placid. My time there and the following week of recovery will be very telling. I'm planning about 375 miles of cycling in 4-days. I really want to bust through to a new cycling fitness plateau.

I'm pondering Ironman again. I feel great and my training metrics are showing solid improvement.
